The Foreign Office has closed down a unit monitoring potential Israeli law violations in Gaza due to the blackouts, the Guardian reported. It also carries the Biobank data breach story and says it was up for sale “on three separate listings last week.” Elsewhere, a civil servant tasked with compiling documents relating to Lord Mandelson’s appointment as the UK’s ambassador to the US said he had not been given files relating to his security clearance. A photo of a group of women mourning the death of journalist Amal Khalil, who was killed in an Israeli attack in Lebanon, and carrying her red posters was also spread around.
